German police are investigating a suspicious object found near a runway at Leipzig, Halle Airport on Wednesday after an overnight security incident that temporarily disrupted operations.
The southern runway of the airport, which serves as a major hub for logistics group DHL, remained closed while specialists examined the object using explosives-disposal technology, a police spokesperson said.
Authorities were also investigating reports of an unidentified flying object potentially linked to the incident.
Several aircraft, including a passenger flight, were diverted overnight, but operations returned to normal in the morning, the spokesperson said.
German airports are on high alert following a series of unauthorised drone overflights at locations including military facilities, energy terminals, seaports and logistics companies.
Germany’s federal police have warned that the overflights could have been organised by Russian agents, while Russia has denied any involvement in the incidents.
